Black had 25 catches for 343 yards last season, but was overlooked in offensive coordinator Josh Gattis' scheme, which featured Nico Collins, Ronnie Bell and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

He suffered injuries in his first two years at Michigan — a season-ending broken left foot in 2017, and a broken right foot during practice shortly before the season opener in 2018. He returned for the second half of that season.

In June, Gattis, entering his first season at Michigan, addressed Black's injury history, saying the former four-star prospect from Cheshire, Connecticut, had potential, but "mentally has to get over the hump."

"He can’t be concerned or worried about his past history as far as his injuries," Gattis said. "That’s the thing I’ve stressed with him — ‘Hey, don’t worry about injuries, don’t try to save yourself. You’ve got to just try to apply yourself each and every day to be the best player that you can be.' "
